I've not completed it yet but still enjoying it
The end of Chapter 5 has given me a moment where I've wanted to smash the controller up into little pieces though, which is very rare for me! Usually I'm quite calm with games

Preferring it to Prince of Persia at the moment as I'm not so sure about the openness of Prince of Persia.

This would almost certainly make someone sick then, although there is no heads up display to watch, possibly having something to focus on is what makes someone feel sick?

I think the collection aspect of this works well. Three bags in every level, all with notifications of when they are near.

It's also got an incredible visual style, running through some of the office complexes it's one of the most recognizable games and arguably one of the most beautiful games ever made.

Wait until you play Dead Space then, it's one of the most visually stunning games I've ever seen, right up there with Gears, which is amazing considering it's running of it's own graphics engine.

Mirror's Edge is pretty in a whole new way, often a colour palette of simply green and white or red and white, completely different and it works. I caught a glimpse of Dead Space at a LAN and the lighting was mind-boggling.

Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, Gears of War 2, Dead Space, Prince of Persia, all released within 2 months of each other and all arguably the best looking games of their generation. Amazing.

Thats what I did, PoP is a easy introduction to this type of game ME is a lot more free form and a lot harder IMHO
